Kindergarten Gallery

Below are some examples of artwork we make
in Kindergarten. Projects are ever-changing as we continue to
explore in new and exciting ways.

Animal Portraits
Students studied the shapes of animal's bodies and then illustrated
their findings. Students then discovered the textures of their animal
and added the fur, scales and feather textures to their animals bodies.
They then created a setting for their animal portrait as well.

Googly EyesStudents received a piece of paper
with two googly eyes glued on. Students had to create something for the
eyes to belong to. Could they belong to a fish? A book? A flower?
Students drew with pencil, then went over with a sharpie marker. They
then colored their drawing in with crayon. Once the crayon was filled
in, students painted over with watercolor. Each drawing is different
and guided by the artist’s own personal creativity.Self-PortraitsStudents studied themselves and
the way their faces looked. After learning some drawing techniques and
tricks to create basic shapes for their faces, students then added
details of their personal features that makes them unique!

Line AbstractionsStudents painted rainbow fields of
color with tempera paint. Students then added all sorts of lines and
shapes on top of the colored composition.

Primary Colored Fish Artists printed
with sponges in the shape of a fish using the primary colors. Students
learned that the primary colors (red, yellow and blue) are the most
important colors in the rainbow because they help create all the other
colors (the secondary colors of orange, green and purple). After
printing the fish, students embellished their prints with orange, green
and purple oil pastels, adding fins, eyes, lips and plants.

Neighborhood Collages
Students used shapes cut out from colored construction paper such as
circles, squares, rectangles and triangles. Student created their
neighborhood at night, creating houses, cars, trees, and even traffic
lights. Students learned that shapes can create anything, even their
neighborhood!

Texture Pinch Pots
Students received a piece of clay and had to roll their piece of clay
into a ball. They then had to use their thumbs to create a small
pot, known as a pinch pot. Students then used clay tools to create
different textures on their pinch pot, adding a sense of individuality
to their work.
